Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/libvirtd from connectto access on the unix_stream_socket /run/libvirt/virtlockd-sock.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Source RPM Packages libvirt-daemon-1.0.5-2.el7.x86_64
Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-49.el7.noarch
How reproducible:
Always.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. There was no libvirt release with bug 973543 and bug 968128 fixed yet.
For libvirt 1.0.5 work around bug 968128 by adjusting the socket path manually:
In /usr/lib/systemd/system/virtlockd.socket set:
ListenStream=/var/run/libvirt/virtlockd-sock
Bug 973543 in 1.0.6 cannot be worked around, but both should be fixed in the next release.
2. Change the lock manager to lockd in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf:
lock_manager = "lockd"
3. Request automatic disk leases in /etc/libvirt/qemu-lockd.conf:
auto_disk_leases = 1
4. Restart virtlockd and libvirtd services.
5. Try to start a domain with a disk:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/cake.qcow2 10M
virsh create /dev/stdin <<EOF
<domain type='qemu'>
<name>cake</name>
<memory unit='MiB'>32</memory>
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hvm</type>
</os>
<devices>
<emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/cake.qcow2'/>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
</disk>
</devices>
</domain>
EOF
Actual results:
Domain fails to start:
error: Failed to create domain from /dev/stdin
error: Child quit during startup handshake: Input/output error
and this error appears in /var/log/messages:

Expected results:
Domain starts.
Additional info:
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/libvirtd from connectto access on the unix_stream_socket /run/libvirt/virtlockd-sock.
***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ***************************
If you believe that libvirtd should be allowed connectto access on the virtlockd-sock unix_stream_socket by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep libvirtd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
